Sony system sound going to another system.

I have a Sony HT-RT5 sound system with wireless subwoofer. I liked it and bought a second system for upstairs.


The problem is when the downstairs tv is on the subwoofer on the upstairs system turns on and starts booming even if the upstairs tv is turned off.



Is there a way to prevent this from happening i.e. to associate each of the subwoofers with only its particular soundbar?

Just unplug the upstairs sub when not in use.

Or buy one of these.

Or these.

Thank you for the reply, but that's not something I'll consider. Reaching all the way under my entertainment center every time I stop watching tv just to unplug a speaker?



I am thinking more of an option to keep each subwoofer only talking to its own soundbar. I can't believe Sony would design something like this. They weren't cheap either lol. :eek:

Ok, found the answer from another search. In case anyone has the same problem - Sony has a "Secure Link" feature where you can assign the speakers to a particular soundbar.


Working good. I knew Sony would have something like this. :)
